How to raise potted peonies When do peony flowers bloom

Home cultivation and management of peony flowers.

In addition to being cultivated in the open field, peonies can also be used for potted ornamentation. The best planting season is from September to October. Potted peonies should choose varieties such as Luoyang Red, Hu Hong, and Zhao Fen with strong adaptability, early flowering, and good flower type.

Plants should be selected as a rootstock for 3-4 years of small peony grafted or 3-5 branch seedlings.

When potting, the bottom of the pot can be spread with coarse sand or small stones 3-5 cm thick to facilitate drainage. The potting soil should be mixed with yellow sand soil and cake fertilizer, or with fully decomposed manure, garden soil, and coarse sand at 1:1:

1 ratio of mixed culture soil. The soil should be filled so that the root system is stretched and cannot be curled; After covering the soil, it should be compacted by hand so that the root system is in close contact with the soil, so that it is easy to survive. After potting, water once and put the seedlings in the semi-shade.

After being transferred to normal management, it can be placed in a sunny place to ensure that it has sufficient sunlight exposure. During the growth period, the soil should be loosened frequently, and compound fertilizer should be applied every half a month or so. Newly potted peonies can not be fertilized, especially avoid thick fertilizer, otherwise the fleshy roots will be moldy and rotten to death.

After half a year, you can gradually apply some thin fertilizer, such as rotten chicken manure or bean water, etc., and the ratio of fertilizer to water is 20%-30%. Newly potted peonies may not produce good flowers in the first year, but after 1-2 years of cultivation, they can bloom year after year. Peony blooms in mid to late April a year, and liquid fertilizer can be applied 1-2 times before flowering; Half a month after flowering, apply liquid fertilizer 1-2 times; Futian can use sesame paste residue (about 40-50 grams per pot) to apply dry fertilizer once to facilitate flower bud differentiation.

Peony is a fleshy root, slightly drought tolerant, most afraid of stagnant water, so whether the watering is proper is a key issue in the success or failure of potted peonies. Generally, the peony that comes out of the room in early spring should be fertilized once, and then watered thoroughly, and the soil should be loosened after the water is slightly dried. In the future, watering should be carried out in a timely and appropriate amount according to the weather and potting soil conditions, and the potting soil should be kept moist frequently, which is conducive to the growth and flowering of peonies.

Reasonable watering should be dry and wet, not suitable for large watering, to prevent water accumulation in the pot, so as not to rot roots and leaves.

When the peony blooms, it can be covered by a shed or temporarily placed indoors, avoiding direct sunlight, which can prolong the flowering period, and the top bud of the main branch is a leaf bud, which should be removed, so as not to grow and affect flowering. In order to make the peony bloom brightly, the dihydrogen phosphate solution available during the flowering period is sprayed 2-3 times. After the peony flowers are gone, it is necessary to carry out a plastic pruning, cut off the residual flowers and flower stalks in time, do not let the seeds set, and retain the 1-2 outer buds of the stem, so that the plant can grow vigorously and ensure that the next year blooms.

Although peonies are more cold-tolerant, in cold areas such as North China, they should be moved indoors before and after the beginning of winter, placed in a sunny place in the room, and the room temperature should be kept at about 0 degrees. It is not advisable to leave the room too early in the following year, and you must wait until before and after Qingming. In areas that are not too cold, you can choose to bury the pot in the soil in a hidden wind place, so that the pot surface is level with the ground to maintain the humidity and temperature of the potting soil, and also ensure the safe wintering of peonies.

After the peony flowers appear in the spring of the second year, the peony will be dug out of the ground in a pot for normal management.

It is necessary to remove the overgrown branches, buds, dead branches, diseased and insect branches in time, maintain the dynamic balance between the aboveground part and the underground part, and keep the plant with a balanced and appropriate amount of branches and beautiful plant shape, so that it can grow vigorously and bloom consistently. The main measures include the following: Selecting and retaining branches.

After the peony is planted, it can sprout many new shoots (commonly known as soil buds) outside the root neck in the first year. In the spring of the second year, when the new shoots grow to about 10cm, you can select a few strong, full, and evenly distributed ones to keep them as the main branches (commonly known as fixed shares), and remove all the rest. In the future, 1 2 new shoots will be selected every year or every other year to cultivate the branches, so that the clusters will expand and plump year by year.

Utilize sprouts as appropriate.

In order to make the peony flowers big and gorgeous, often combined with pruning to thin the buds, wipe the buds, so that each branch retains 1 bud, the remaining buds are removed, and the adventitious buds on the old branches are all removed, so that the nutrients are concentrated and the flowers are huge. The buds retained on each branch should be full and strong. Some varieties have strong growth potential, strong branching ability and high flowering rate, and there are often 1 2 or even 3 buds on each branch that can germinate into branches and bloom normally. However, some varieties with weak growth, weak branching ability and low flowering rate should adhere to the pruning measures of leaving one branch and one bud.

1. The planting season of peonies is autumn, with the best months from September to October.

2. Choose three-year-old or more three-year-old peony seedlings, in late March, when the peony buds have not yet bloomed, cut off the smaller flower buds or flower buds that deviate from the main branch, and leave 4 5 flowers per plant. By the middle of July, when the outside of the peony seed horn is fully yellowed, the seeds begin to be harvested and scattered in a cool and ventilated place, and 80 100kg of seeds can be produced per mu.

3. Peony seedlings must be sown with picking and sowing in production, and remember to expose to the sun. If you sow too late, you will not germinate. If you can't get into the ground in time before September, you can use fine sand to pile the seeds together in a certain proportion, and pay attention to the pile is not too large, otherwise it is easy to heat up and lose the germination rate.

4. Peony sowing can generally be sown 100 150kg mu, due to the large peony seeds, can be sown by machine or wood cocoon to fill the ditch. Then the seeds are evenly sown in the ditch, covering the soil 2 3cm is appropriate, row spacing, plant spacing is generally not counted. At this time, in the case of a more suitable underground temperature in winter, the seeds begin to develop, full of fibrous roots, and after the beginning of spring, after the ground temperature rises, it can be quickly unearthed and germinated.

Generally, 100 1.2 million seedlings per mu are produced.

5. Peony seedlings grow rapidly in spring when the temperature is 18 25, and they are not afraid of spring drought, because the seedlings have crowded the ridges. In spring, combined with spring plowing and weeding, fertilization is carried out to supplement nutrients, and 40 50kg of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is generally applied per mu, or 40kg of compound fertilizer. In spring, attention should be paid to the prevention of blight and black root disease, and carbendazim can be sprayed in a certain proportion.

In summer, when the temperature rises above 35, peony seedlings grow slowly. Attention should be paid to prevention, especially in the case of high temperature and high humidity, pay attention to ventilation and drainage and irrigation, so as to avoid water accumulation and root rot.

6. Peony seedlings can be transplanted in the field when the climate turns from warm to cool in autumn. According to the row spacing of the plants, generally each hole can be planted 2 plants, about 6000 seedlings per mu, and one mu of seedlings can be transferred to 15 20 acres of fields.

In the twilight of spring, when you approach the peony flower, look at its flower color, smell its fragrance, you will definitely feel relaxed.

Although the peony is good, it is necessary to grasp all aspects of scientific cultivation methods according to its growth habits, otherwise. It's not that the leaves don't bloom, the flowers are small, and the flowers may be raised to death. In my experience.

If you want to raise peony flowers. At least the following basic links should be grasped:

First, the planting method should be appropriate. Peony belongs to the root flower, therefore, when potting, it is necessary to choose a high cylinder pot, use more fertile culture soil, add 30% coarse sand, put some broken pot pieces at the bottom of the pot, put some humus at the bottom, and then put an appropriate amount of fermented oil residue or cake fertilizer as the bottom fertilizer. Choose 4-5 year-old plants, take 3-4 plants as a pot and split them, find the natural seams of the branches and roots when splitting, and then split them by hand or cut them with a sharp blade along the roots, don't hurt the roots, try to retain the fibrous roots, separate the new plants, and then potted them, and the distance between the plants is good.

The depth of the pot is at least 30 cm, the root system should be all upright when planting, not twisted, when the soil is halfway, then gently lift the seedlings upward, so that the top root is slightly flat with the pot surface, and then fill the soil and press it by hand. After potting, water appropriately and place in the shade. In mid to late March, the branches begin to sprout, put them in a semi-light, ventilated place, water, fertilize, and enter normal cultivation.

Second, although peony likes fertilizer, it is also necessary to grasp the fertilization season and the type of fertilizer. In addition to applying a base fertilizer when planting, peony can only be fertilized once in spring, summer and autumn in the future - a fermented small manure is fertilized in mid to late March to promote development; In June, top dressing (fermented sesame paste residue) was applied once to promote the formation of new flower buds; In mid to late October, apply fertilizer (manure dilute fertilizer, such as sesame sauce residue, chicken, fish offal, etc.) to save nutrients and strengthen flower seedlings.

Third, it is necessary to control watering. Because peony is a fleshy root, like dry, avoid wet, watering should not be too much, rather dry than wet, basically do not water in winter, if not thawed, must not be watered, 3-4 months can gradually increase the number of watering, do not need to water when flowering.

Fourth, take good care. In the process of peony growth, special attention must be paid to the bud growth, before flowering, the deflated bud and the leaf bud that is not the bud should be pinched off, and the residual flowers should be cut off immediately after opening, so as not to set seeds, so as to ensure the vigorous growth of the plant. When the flowers bloom, they should pull the curtain to shade them, and they should support the flowers to prevent the flowers from falling.

Avoid strong light exposure in summer and summer, and avoid freezing in winter; It is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and control of various pests and diseases at any time, such as when the plant is found to have gray hairy moss, you can cut off the diseased branches and burn them, and spray Bordeaux liquid, when you find that there are brown or yellow spots on the flowers and leaves, you can cut off the diseased leaves and burn them, and spray 65% Dyszeb 500 times liquid for control; If you find a spider mites on the back of the leaf, you can spray dimethoate liquid.

The king of rich peony flowers, the beauty of the country is famous.

Scientific cultivation is carefully raised, and the famous flowers of our country always send incense.

The characteristics of peony are "four suitable and four afraid", that is, it should be cold and afraid of freezing, warm and heaty, light and shade, and dry and wet. Therefore, planting peonies should be planted in a spacious and ventilated place, with sunlight in the morning, and fertile and loose soil, and should not be planted in waterlogged land, shady wetland, and rubble land. When planting a platform, the size of the platform should be determined according to the number and size of the plants, and the height should be determined according to the original topography and groundwater level of the place.

The height is generally 50-100 cm, and the base is made of stones or bricks, and some broken tiles or broken bricks are paved. If the soil is heavy clay, it should be replaced with culture soil. The culture soil is mixed with 6 parts of soil, 3 parts of humus soil, and 1 part of chaff ash.

The cultivation of peonies is different from other flowers, and peonies do not need to be irrigated after planting, let alone manure. People can protect the soil from the cold in winter, and open the soil after the spring is warm to facilitate growth.

Fertilization The flower proverb says well, "clear peony, turbid peony". What is the meaning of "Qing"? There are a few sentences in "Flower Glass" that can be used as footnotes to the word "Qing":

In December, the ground is frozen, and pig manure can be used to suppress it. After the vernal equinox, do not water fertilizer until the flowers are slightly dry after the flowers are released. In June, it is especially taboo to water, and the roots will be damaged if watered, and there will be no flowers in spring.

It can be seen that "Qing" does not mean only watering without fertilizing. Some people are afraid to fertilize because of the word "Qing", which is a misunderstanding of "Qing". The fertilization experience is:

The base fertilizer should be sufficient, and compost and cake fertilizer should be applied when planting. Manure. Cover the fertilizer with soil.

Top dressing should be controlled, top dressing can be done once after spring flowering, and the fertilizer must be rotten and not too thick. No top dressing in summer. Fertilization is the most important with winter fertilizer, and winter fertilizer should be combined with soil cultivation.

Newly planted peonies should not be fertilized, especially avoid pouring thick manure, otherwise the fleshy roots will be moldy and rot to death. Nutrients** are mainly based on basal fertilizer. Although it is in the growing season after flowering, liquid fertilizer is still not suitable for application.

After one year of planting, it is also necessary to apply solid basal fertilizer in winter.

Watering Peony watering should not be too much, and it is generally not watered in winter. After May, the weather gets hotter, if the weather is dry and dry, you can water appropriately, but it should be dry but not wet, and you can water it only after the soil is dry. During the showers and rainy seasons, it is important to prevent water accumulation to avoid damaging the plants.

Storms or continuous rain often cause soil compaction. When the ground is dry after the rain, you should pay attention to loosening the soil. Timely loosening of the soil can improve the aeration of the soil.

The root system of peony is vertically into the soil, and the loose soil should be deep. Subsoiling is done at least three times a year, once in spring after flowering, once in summer after the rainy season, and once after typhoons and rainstorms in autumn.

Flowering management. If the top bud of the main branch is not a flower bud, but a leaf bud, it should be removed in time to avoid overgrowth and affect flowering. Peony branches are brittle, when the flowers first open, often because the flower head is too heavy to bend the branches, a little wind is easy to be broken, so you can use thin bamboo pieces to tie and support, so that not only to prevent breaking but also to increase the beauty. After the flowers are gone, the flower stalks are cut off to prevent the seeds from being set to ensure the vigorous growth of the plant.

Peony overwintering should be covered with grass to prevent freezing, and the grass should be swept away when the weather is warm in March.

Sunflowers are not difficult to raise, according to my method of raising, there are "peony" flowers every day.

It generally takes more than 5 years for peonies to bloom from planting to flowering, and the specific time depends on the measures taken by the grower and the changes in its life cycle.

In the growth and development of peony in a lifetime, it will go through the process of growth, flowering, fruiting, aging, renewal and death, which is the life cycle. From the perspective of the growth and development of seedlings, their life cycle can be divided into two distinct development stages, namely juvenile stage and adult stage. The juvenile stage starts from seed germination to the first flowering and fruiting of the plant, which generally lasts 3 to 5 years, and this stage is mainly vegetative growth and does not flower; Once flowered, the plant enters adulthood.

Once the peony enters adulthood, it has to go through the young age of Qiaoxiao for about 10 years, the prime of life for about 25 years, and then enter the old age. In the young and middle-aged period, the growth is robust, the flowering is luxuriant and the ornamental value is high, and after entering the old age, the growth gradually weakens, and the number of flowers and the ornamental quality are reduced.
